VYSEHRAD - ROTUNDA SV. MARTINA

V Pevnosti
Romanic Rotunda — National cultural monument
The oldest preserved rotunda in Prague was built by the end of the 11th century, during King Vratislav II.'s times, as a parish church in the ward. It was used as a gunpowder storage when local fort was established. It was planned to take it down in 1841 due to a road construction. Today's face comes from constructional modifications in 1878-80.

Expositions

New-Romanic portal, wall paintings in interior with a New-Romanic marble altar, decored with paintings by F. Sequens.
